Under mysterious circumstances, Zakaria Mubarak is found murdered on the outskirts of his village, Tel Safra, days after returning from a long exile between Europe, America, and Africa. He chose to return, keeping Marc Chagall’s painting “The Blue Violinist,” a gift from his Parisian girlfriend.
Suspicion centers on cousins who may have killed him out of a desire to seize a treasure the family had inherited, a treasure their grandmother had hidden under the house she had built upon her return from America.
In a gripping style, the novel tells the story of Zakaria’s murder at a dangerous intersection where myths about gold and sibling rivalries intermingle with the love of French women, the false promise of wealth, and sectarian animosities that have emerged and disappeared for a century and a half.
